I saw Al Sharpton tonight. When it comes to politics, I can safely classify myself as an "ignorant fuck." That not withstanding, Al Sharpton is the fuckin' man. The fucking man. Interesting speaker, and funny.

I watched The Royal Tenenbaums this weekend (saw it for the first time). Why don't I own that movie? Well. Because I'm broke. But

What's incredible about that song at that moment in the royal tenenbaums is the shift in lighting. Everything goes from oranges and pinks to cold blue. And elliott smith playing in the background. More interesting is the fact that the next song that plays, when he sneaks into his house, is "the fly" by nick drake. ironically enough, he also committed suicide. But for some reason, the colors go back to normal.

Fuck, I could talk about this movie for days. It was the best, or one of the best, dvd purchases I ever made.

Indeed.

I'll need to see this movie again.
The girl I borrowed it from [thank you, Mary] owns the 'Criterion Collection' dvd, and it is really cool, if only for the awesome case it comes in (I haven't seen the extra features of anything yet).
But yeah.
This definitely jumped to a top priority on my "to buy" list.

Rockin'.

The Royal Tennenbaums is easily the best movie I've seen in the past year. I don't think I understand everything in it, and I don't think I want to. If you buy it, beware. I will come to your dorm every fucking day.

Wait till you read Zooey. It's about twice as long, and twice as good, as Franny. So basically you're dealing with four times the magnitude of goodness.

I think I like artistic and deep Paul more than I like I'm-quite-short-and-Icelandic-but-I-make-up-for-it-with-these-whiny-posts Paul. Keep the boring but amusingly anecdotal posts coming.
